Bella

A better life!

Bella, my 11-year-old husky, was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia in 2023, and it has progressively worsened. On her really bad days, she can barely walk and quickly wants to come back inside to lie down. Joey’s PAW, particularly Tanya, was fantastic in offering help. After texting Tanya, she quickly provided a wheelchair within 1-2 days, which has significantly improved Bella's mobility during her painful times.

Initially, Bella was hesitant to use the wheelchair, but with daily practice, she became accustomed to it and found it helpful. Although she doesn't need it every day, the wheelchair is crucial during her worst moments, easing her pain and inflammation. 

We can’t say thank you enough to Tanya and Joey’s PAW for helping her. We love you all!

Nash

Mobile…and happy again!

We cannot express enough gratitude for Joey's PAW and Walkin’ Wheels for the incredible difference they made in our beloved Nash's life.

Through aggressive hydrotherapy and balance ball therapy at Mississippi State Vet Hospital, Nash stayed strong and mobile far longer than expected. Even when he lost control of his back legs, we found hope through Joey’s PAW, a life-giving nonprofit that provided Nash with a wheelchair. This amazing gift allowed Nash to enjoy walks again and receive special attention from friends and curious strangers.

Thanks to Joey’s PAW, Nash was happier, more confident, and lived his days with a new zest for life. It was heartwarming to see how much a wheelchair could transform his experience and how we could educate others about the potential for special-needs pets to lead fulfilling lives. We are forever grateful to Joey’s PAW for giving Nash the chance to be mobile and happy once again.

Pi

A new leg and a new lease on life!

We adopted Pi from a local shelter not knowing her history. But from what we can figure, she was caught in a foot trap and lost her hind right paw and a portion of her leg.

I reached out to Joey's PAW and they were such a blessing and joy to work with! Pi received her new prosthetic quickly and it was a perfect fit. Her first day she took to it well, but by the third day she was scooting around and so happy and excited! It opened doors for her and unlocked a level of gratitude in a dog like I’ve never seen before.

Her prosthetic has also helped her elbow dysplasia and spine by aligning everything. Previously, she had to curve her spine and bow her elbows to relieve herself or climb. Now Pi runs and jumps and is the happiest pup on this earth. I can’t say enough good things about Joey's PAW and Tanya. This is a wonderful non-profit and we are forever in their debt for Pi’s new lease on life!
